What a jip

Just started taking sculpture seriously and so figured it would be kinda cool to document my progress both in projects and skill. It might get a lil confusing to follow as I'll have several pieces on the go at once so i don't fall victim to curring times and the like. gotta keep sculpting while the oll inspiration is pumping.

So without further delay i present Corrier Carrie (here on out referred to as CC).


Fancy eh? Well they gotta start somewhere. some brass wire i striped outta some thick cable. balled and thread back through itself and then stuck in a cork (so hard to come by these days) covered in a layer of epoxy and stabbed repeatedly to give me a nice bit of texture to sculpt onto.

Anyway that one is a bit of a jip so here's my next stage early (gotta keep you interested no?).

LEGS! and sticky outtie bits for baskets. at least she is starting to look crabbie right?

just drilled into "the ball" with my pin vice and Super glued in some paperclips bent into legs. then some lil pieces in the top. lovely.

Hope that sates you for. maintenance is over and thus, so am i. peace out
